lyrics

I am calling from the right lane of the highway
When I got on here it was spring
You better eat before you set foot in that market
Or else you’re bound to buy everything

It’d been a long, hard, cold, eatin’-leather-shoe winter
Even the storm clouds went broke
I got out on an eighth of unleaded
Haven’t even stopped for a smoke

Gotta find me a snack
Now there’s no turning back, now there’s no turning back
I’ve been cruisin’ these aisles all day
When was my last meal
I don’t know how it feels, can’t recall how that feels
I need a home or a place to stay

Some time around four, well it turned back into summer
I got bluegrass coming out of my ears
The lines around this state on the map make it look like a coupon
I just took 20% off of my years

Gotta find me a shelf
Gotta build my wealth, gotta build my wealth
I gotta buy coffee in the place where I read
Gotta find me a desk
Gotta buy me a fax, gotta get me the rest
I gotta keep myself up to speed

I’m growing discontent with this billboard cocktail party
Models with martinis smoking in their underwear
I stopped off at that 76 pavilion
But I can’t cheat at solitaire

‘Cause I know somewhere around the bend
I’m gonna see your sweet face again
Like a light in a house in the fall
It’ll shine so bright like a red tree all alone in the night
And then you’re gone and there’s no curtain call

Gotta find me some love
Gonna wear me a diamond and free me a dove
I gotta park in the shade of desire
Gotta clean the garage
Salvage records and tapes, gotta salvage the Dodge
Before this whole thing catches on fire

I am calling from the right lane of the highway
I’ll stay on ‘til I get my share
Me and the rest of this steel-belted army
Couldn’t even get off on a dare
Wouldn’t get off on a dare
